Great to see that the main cast keeps coming back for more.
Most of the cast would be so grateful to have another season of work, saw a recent interview with Marta Dusseldorp talking about the lack of local work for many actors /actresses in this country. As we all know it’s been that way unfortunately for many years now.
Looking forward to the new season promos look fantastic.

Even with catch-up services in play, I wonder if part of their decision to move it was because of a potential demo clash with The Doctor Blake Mysteries in the previous time slot.
Which is good because they potentially target the same sort of audience.
Yep that’s what I was referring to above.
A Place To Call Home -The Story So Far airs on Seven at 3pm this Sunday. This one hour special has aired on Foxtel this week.
It also aired around 10:20 last night on 7two.
How about airing previous seasons Seven? 
Foxtel should let them do it because it would boost interest in the new season on Showcase.
Foxtel are now saying on their Facebook page that it will air at 8.30pm EST, but 7.30 in Queensland. Yet Queensland are on AEST, and NSW/VIC are on AEDT! They are certainly giving out mixed messages!

A PLACE TO CALL HOME
Foxtel announces another season for 2018
Foxtel is delighted to announce a sixth season of the much-loved Australian period drama A PLACE TO CALL HOME has been commissioned and will begin filming in early 2018.
Foxtel’s Executive Director of Television, Brian Walsh said ”Foxtel is very proud of A PLACE TO CALL HOME, the series is beautifully written, produced, directed and portrayed by some of Australia’s best creative talent. It’s a very special Australian story crafted by series creator Bevan Lee and our producing partners Seven Studios. There are still some stories involving our central characters that are waiting to be told and I think Season 6 will build on the incredible success that we are enjoying with the current season on air,” he said.
A PLACE TO CALL HOME is brought to life by the incredibly talented cast including Award winning actresses Marta Dusseldorp and Noni Hazlehurst, along with Brett Climo, Abby Earl, Craig Hall, Sara Wiseman, Jenni Baird, Tim Draxl, Frankie J Holden, Deborah Kennedy, Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood and David Berry.
The TV Week Logie Award Winning Most Outstanding Drama continues to win local ratings, while also gathering international fans and critical acclaim across 120 countries worldwide.
Season 5 was awarded an Australian Production Design Guild award for Costume Design (Lisa Meagher) and an AACTA Award for Best Production Design in Television (Fiona Donovan).
The series also won a 2017 American Public Television Award for Program Excellence and is the number one program on Acorn (US streaming service).
The New York Times told readers to “watch, for a period melodrama that delivers nonstop intrigue and cliff-hangers along with pointed social critique.”
The Hollywood Reporter said: “Superbly written, and acted, this is Downton Abbey down under but less soapy and substantially darker.”
While Indie Wire gave high praise “An unmarried, progressive, Jewish woman struggling to square wartime experience with post-war convention, Sarah emerges as a sort of Aussie Betty Friedan, sound the themes of privacy, equality, and freedom that lend “A Place to Call Home” its bristling intelligence”.
